Outside Moonlight's Villa
Jaisalmer is located at the edge of the Thar desert. Once below sea level, the Thar desert was raised by earth movements which cut it off from the Karakoram mountains. It was broken up by later earth movements into flat farmlands (where people can be seen growing wheat) and higher grounds with sandy, salt-free soil which nurtures innumerable Khejri trees. The wild camel depends on the thorny scrub of the higher ground area for its feed.
